Just because I use Gentoo doesn’t mean I don’t appreciate a little Just Work ™ once in a while, and from what they’d like people to believe, Ubuntu apparently does just that. You’d be a fool to argue that Ubuntu doesn’t play a vital part of the Linux ecosphere, and so despite my customiserish nature [...]
Well the Eadrax code (what WIPUP runs on) has always supported updates with video attachments but the live WIPUP site never got to see it in action due to the server not having ffmpeg (video swiss-army knife) installed and playing nice with the latest codecs, permissions, and whatnot. Over the past few days our lovely [...]
The web is one of those strange places where people expect things for free. The reason is quite simple – and that it’s because all of the internet’s "good" and "services" are virtual, they aren’t tangible doohickeys we can break and sell for spare parts. However the reality is that in providing that service, no [...]
WIPUP is a way to conveniently share progress on your projects. Given the mix of solutions used before such as work-in-progress forum threads, blog posts, mailing lists and microblogging, we’re creating a flexible and friendly solution to answer the question “what’s up?”. People focus so much on the finished product they ignore the beauty of [...]
The long-term success of a company is caused by its people. The long-term success of a product is caused by the producers. Consumers are not the cause of success, they are a symptom of success. That was the ideaology I got into a debate with my friend the other day. I was pro and he [...]
As many people know, I am the layout editor of my school’s “Perspective” magazine. It is a student run organisation and this will be the last issue I design before I hand over my role to the year below (it’s a yearly thing). I am happy and proud to announce what I believe is the [...]
If you read my initial post about Google Chrome (the OS, not the Brow- wait a minute, is there even a clear distinction anymore?) you would have realised that I didn’t really give opinions on what I felt about it but instead how I visualised it to be. I believe in designating some mull-over time [...]
Hello everybody, I’m back from my 5 day jungle trek and I’m just catching up on what I’ve missed throughout the week. I was initially going to award you all with a post about the trek itself, but it turns out Jonathan Williamson from Montage Studio (the very same who does the Blender screencasts and [...]
I had skipped my last scheduled blog post because things have been busy. One of those busy things involves the Perspective magazine, which I last touched way back in February. The last time I mentioned it, I also shared my feelings about the workflow. Between that time and now, there has been one Perspective issue, [...]
Even though me blabbering about project Eadrax doesn’t seem to interest most people (see: 0 comments on previous 2 posts) and it seems as though nobody has responded (yet) on the mailing list, I do not consider it a total failure. I’ve decided to share just how much data you can actually gather from taking [...]
Google is, actually, one of my top three disliked companies. The other two are Microsoft and Adobe. Why I dislike Microsoft and Adobe is a post for another day, but today I would like to talk about Google. Believe it or not, I will explain this without ONCE saying any personal bad experiences with Google’s [...]
Remember the milk? What an awesome name for my newly discovered service. Just yesterday I was poking around the my newly installed KDE 4.3beta (4.2.85) and I came across the “Remember The Milk” plasmoid hiding in the kdeplasma-addons package in the kde-testing overlay. That was the beginning of about 2 hours or so spent discovering [...]
As some might know, Blender is an open-source 3D content creation application – it’s cross-platform, a pioneer in the free 3D application market, and I use it. Not only do I use it, love it, and hang out in the #blenderchat IRC channel on freenode, I host the Blender Model Repository, taking over from Andrew [...]
Note, this is a long post. It also covers a tiny fraction of what is out there to understand. More updates will come about the open-source culture in the future. This text is also mainly written for those familiar with the Linux culture (as I use them as an analogy) – though regular business model [...]
OK, it’s Penguin Day again! Those who have been spying via the Twitter feed would’ve noticed quite a few feeds formatted as a Git commit as well as some references to project ThoughtScore and POSE2. I do believe I’ve talked about those two projects of mine before, but always pretty vaguely. So I’ve decided to [...]
